Water bottles. Team tees. Yoga pants. Yawn. We’ve so been there, done that, unwrapped it last year and loved it—but don’t necessarily wanna get or give the same thing all over again this holiday season. That’s where our new list of sporty gifts comes in. Shop on!

If…she’s on a sport’s team

Grab her something to cuddle with while she’s on the bus. Hit the toy store and look for something that speaks to her personality…and is big enough and squashy enough to double as a pillow.

Hopping in and out of the pool every day is probably no big deal for your best babe, but we’re betting she’d love a beauty booty basket that’ll help her look her before and after the big meet. Pack it with essentials she can toss in her gym bag, like easy cleanser wipes, waterproof mascara and sassy hair ties.

Don’t grab her another pair of leg warmers. Instead, get a little creative. Snag a few different versions of The Nutcracker ballet and have your own Nutcracker marathon—complete with voting cards for your top pick. Know who her favorite ballerina or hip-hop choreographer is? See if she’s taped any special performances or how-to videos. Her copy of Center Stage is scratched and skipping? Upgrade her fave dance flick to Blu-ray.

Spend some time pulling together the ultimate eclectic playlist for her to load on to her iPod. Download onto a CD that she can toss on her comp, or grab an iTunes or Amazon gift card and include the tracks in a cute card.

Scrap the typical licensed jersey or foam finger idea and go with something a little more interesting (and far more unusual). We’re digging vintage team calendars. Whether you’re a fan or not, the artwork is amazing, and it’ll stick around long after the season is over.

Buy her a gift certificate from a local yoga or dance studio, set her up with a free trial at a nearby gym or snag a pass from your local YMCA for a few fitness classes. The clincher? Promise to go with her—that’s the very best part!

If there's nothing to eat but fast food, make healthy decisions about what you order. Opt for grilled chicken rather than fried.

What does music mean to you?

Memories! A song can totally take me back to a specific moment in time.Hard work. I'm in the band at school, so I have to keep my skills sharp. Chilling. I pop my headphones in and all my stress melts away. Getting pumped. The right music really gets me ready for a big game.
